Here's the board after my last move:

Oh! You said K knp.

Well, in that case.
KRP - KR4

Same as if I had moved to KR3 because you can en passant capture it.
The difference is, an en passant, if declined, expires. and leaves your rooks pawn blocked.
The continueing pressure of a pawn stand off would have let you advance your Krook pawn and protect your Kknp.
Can't allow that.

I might start making sense again soon, I'm almost out of that last overwhelming "I can feel it in the back of my forehead" harvest. I've been a Newt.
